Enzymes Enzymes are the sparks that start the essential chemical reactions our bodies need to live. They are necessary for digesting food‚ for stimulating the brain‚ for providing cellular energy‚ and for repairing all tissues‚ organs‚ and cells. There are three types of enzymes: metabolic enzymes‚ digestive enzymes‚ and food enzymes. Metabolic enzymes catalyse‚ or spark‚ the reactions within the cells. The body’s organs‚ tissues and cells are run by metabolic enzymes. Without them our bodies

Enzyme activity The introduction is a statement of the subject and objectives of the experiment and presents your hypothesis. Relevant background information (appropriately referenced) is given in sufficient detail that a person unfamiliar with the topic can understand the nature of the experiment. A good introduction is clear and concise. Carbohydrates and proteins should be explained in terms of their structure and major functions in cells. Your intro should end with a brief overview of the amylase

Torque is defined as = r x F = r F sin(). In other words‚ torque is the cross product between the distance vector (the distance from the pivot point to the point where force is applied) and the force vector‚ ’a ’ being the angle between r and F. Using the right hand rule‚ we can find the direction of the torque vector. If we put our fingers in the direction of r‚ and curl them to the direction of F‚ then the thumb points in the direction of the torque vector. Imagine pushing a door to open it

Enzyme kinetics (catalase/kmno4) Enzyme catalysis Farah Mohamed galal 22-3014 t09 Introduction: E + S → ES → E + P Enzymes are proteins which act as a catalyst in biochemical reactions(affect the rate of achemical reaction). The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme. Any deformation of the active site will affect the activity of the enzyme‚ these are some ways that enzyme action may be affected because of them: 1- Salt concentration: If it is close to zero or very high

20th‚ 2012 Enzyme Lab What is an enzyme? Enzymes are specialized protein molecules simplifying most of the body’s metabolic processes such as‚ supplying energy‚ digesting foods‚ purifying your blood‚ executing the body of waste products etc. Enzymes act as catalyst by speeding up the reactions that happen in our bodies and decreasing the amount of activation energy needed to break a complex down. A reactant is any given enzymatic reaction is called a substrate for that specific enzyme. The place

Enzyme Inhibition Many drugs exert their action by inhibition of an enzyme activity in the body. If the activity of an enzyme is vital to the cell or organism‚ then inhibition may lead to death of the cell or organism. It is now possible to design new drugs which are enzyme inhibitors once a target enzyme has been identified. Types of Inhibitors A) Reversible Inhibitors: The effect of the inhibitor is instantaneous‚ and it can be removed from the enzyme by dialysis so that the enzyme activity

The two different types of energy are kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy a moving object has because of its motion. The kinetic energy of a moving object depends on the object’s mass and its speed. The kinetic energy of a moving object can be calculated from this equation: Kinetic energy (in joules) = ½ mass (in kg) x [speed (in m/s)]² KE= ½ mv² In this equation ^‚ the symbol v represents speed. Example Find the kinetic energy of the ball having mass 0‚5 kg and

Enzymes control the rate of metabolic reactions‚ they act as biological catalysts‚ which means they are used but not used up and they also control the speed of the reaction. Enzymes are proteins which means that anything that disrupts this structure such as high temperature or change in pH will affect the enzyme activity. There are many factors affecting enzyme action for example temperature effects them‚ if the Increasing the heat gives molecules more kinetic energy so they vibrate this can then

Digestion and Enzymes – APP. Hypothesis: The enzyme‚ Amylase which is used to break down carbohydrates will work the best when heated at 40°C. Also‚ as the temperature increases the reaction rate of amylase increases too. However‚ the reaction rate of amylase will start decreasing when the temperature reaches the enzyme’s optimal temperature. Many enzymes are specific for a certain substrate. For example‚ lipase is a specific enzyme for fat substrates and protease‚ a specific enzyme for protein
